GGJ 2025 : Sneaky Cycles

Thomas von Ascheberg‘s Portfolio

24-26 Jan. 2025

Description :

Game created with Godot for the 2025’s edition of the Global Game Jam (GGJ). I directed the team of 6 members

(3 artists & 3 programmers), I programmed parts of the game and I was fully in charge of the music composition.

The theme of the jam was “Bubble”.It is an 8-player arena game where bikers need to circle their opponent in a bubble

thanks to their trail. It has 8 different characters and each of them has their own set of characteristics.

SL Concordancer

Thomas von Ascheberg‘s Portfolio

Jul. 2024 –Dec. 2024

Description :

A web concordancer between French and French Sign Language (LSF). This project was a consequence of an

opportunity made by the reorganization of all the data the Sign Language team at LISN had.

Most of the work went into structuring the large amount of data and making the software easily integrable for a

future Computer-Assisted Translation (CAT) software.

AZee Web Renderer

Thomas von Ascheberg‘s Portfolio

May 2024 –Jun. 2024

Description :

A web platform made to illustrate a scientific paper on procedurally-crafted animation for sign-languages based on

the Azee model. The core animation system was created by aPhD student specialized in procedurally animating

French Sign Language (LSF).

I was in charge of developing the web application. It includes the web server, defining the data format, the interface,

the video player and adding the 3D rendering system (using WebGL and ThreeJS).

Ludum Dare 55 : Swords Dance

Thomas von Ascheberg‘s Portfolio

12-14 Apr. 2024

Description :

Game created with Godot for the 55th edition of the Ludum Dare. I directed the team of 4 members (1 artist, 1

technical artist & 2 programmers).

The local theme for this jam was “Swords&Magic”. The game is a pixel-art sword fighting game based on fencing. We

wanted more than just a demo : we wanted to create a fully functional game. In order to do so, we decided to

prioritize core gameplay over more complex features and to polish things that worked as much as possible.

GGJ 2024 : Crazy Stupid Horse

Thomas von Ascheberg‘s Portfolio

26-28 Jan. 2024

Description :

Game created with Godot for the 2024’s edition of the Global Game Jam (GGJ). I directed the team of 5 members (2

artists, 1 writer & 2 programmers).

The theme of the jam was “Make Me Laugh”. The theme being so broad we focused on writing and aesthetic to create a

set of minigames telling the story of a crazy horse trying to escape a circus that trapped him.

GGJ 2023 : Rooty Defenders

Thomas von Ascheberg‘s Portfolio

3-5 Feb. 2023

Description :

Game created with Unity for the 2023’s edition of the Global Game Jam (GGJ). The theme of the jam was “roots”

and so we decided to build a 3D tower defense game with trees as units. The little twist is that in order to grow and

get stronger your units need to grow their roots and have no other unit in their roots’ range.

AZVD Editor

Thomas von Ascheberg‘s Portfolio

Oct. 2021 –Jun. 2024

Description :

Design and implementation of a web editor able to draw from the AZVD system (in SVG a vector-based image

representation). In addition to the editor, I implemented a library to automatically manage complex SVG positioning

and scaling based on rules.

AZVD is a research focused on finding a systematic and more natural graphical representation of sign language.It

automatically compiles into AZee (a formal model able to represent and create sign language content through an avatar).

Sneaky Whale

Thomas von Ascheberg‘s Portfolio

Oct. 2020

Description :

Small game developed alone in a Game Jam spirit. I gave myself one week to answer an online challenge stating :

“Can you make this button fun to press?”. The aim of this project was to discover and test what creates “fun” in the

gameplay of a videogame.

Nadeo Rule Designer

Thomas von Ascheberg‘s Portfolio

Mar. 2020 –Sep. 2020

Description :

Conception & prototyping a visual modding system for TrackMania (done during my internship at Nadeo). The system

is based around the principle of designing “rules” for the game (principle which could be compared to a grammar for a

compiler). The prototype was built in ManiaScript and ManiaLink, two technologies created by Nadeo but interacting

similarly to web technologies with the game’s engine.

CrashTestVR

Thomas von Ascheberg‘s Portfolio

Jan. 2020 –Mar. 2020

Description :

VR project for the “Virtual Reality” course at Polytech Paris-Sud. This whole project was centered around the

thematic of “Data Visualization”.We built a “crash room” with visual filters for data representation. Our main

objective was to make a good use of virtual reality to find innovative ways to visualize data in a 3D space.

Seeduino –Internet of Things

Thomas von Ascheberg‘s Portfolio

Feb. 2020 –Mar. 2020

Description :

Project for the “Internet of Things” course at Polytech Paris-Sud. Our objective was to create an end to end line from

the Arduino’s captors to its processing by a server. To make it realistic, we tried to minimize the traffic by using

Lorawan signal and Google’s Protocol Buffer to transfer minimal-sized data from the Arduino to the server.

May 2019 –Sep. 2019

Description :

Project built during my 4-month internship at Amazon EU. This software was a monitoring platform to report

transportation misses in Amazon’s Logistic. This was my first full-stack experience as I was fully in charge of the

project. This project also gave me a lot of experience with AWS (as I built it in AWS).

Rainbow Engine

Description :

3D Engine built with 4 people. This OpenGL-based engine supports all the basic features of a game engine : 3D

Graphics/Rendering, Sound Management (OpenAL), Physics, Level Editor, etc. The main goal here was to test our

skills (technical and management) with a complex software to develop. The main guideline was to abstract things as

much as possible for the user in order to make the engine easy to use for beginners.
